Everything about this knife screams quality. Blade quality if great and the CPM S30V steel stays sharp and holds an edge for a long time. The G-10 handle really grips well even when wet. Flipping the blade open with the large spyder hole is effortless. Ball bearing lock is sturdy and won't fail. The drawback of this knife might be that the pocket clip can only be set at the blade tip up, left hand or right hand position. Another con for some would be the ball bearing lock is very stiff at first but loosens up eventually. However, you still need a lot of hand strength if you are going to open and close this knife using just 1 hand. If you have used a Syderco knife with a compression lock, this ball bearing lock is going to take some time getting used to. Also, for those people that like their EDC to be under 4 ounces, this might not be the knife for you as this knife comes in at around 5 ounces. Personally, I do like the weight of this knife and don't mind using 2 hands to close the knife due to the stiff ball bearing lock. Once in my hands, it really feels great.Read full review

The Spyderco Manix 2 G10 is a good knife, but if you make a couple mods you can make this a great knife. 1) The internal spring that operates the ball bearing locking system is too stiff for me from the factory. The stiff spring makes this knife difficult to close with one hand. Fortunately, McMaster-Carr sells a spring that is the exact save size as the factory spring, but it is slightly less stiff. The McMaster replacement part is #1986K46. 2) The plastic ball cage works OK, but it just feels cheap and plastic. Fortunately, Flytanium makes replacement ball cages in various metals and colors. 3) Some say replacing the stainless steel ball with a ceramic ball makes the knife smoother. I put in a ceramic ball but, I did not see any difference in the action. However if you want to go ceramic, the McMaster part is #9576K32. It is a 3/16" diameter ball.Read full review

Thin is one STOUT knife! The ball bearing lock will NOT fail, once engaged for ANY reason. The G10 scales and over abundant jimping give 100% traction on this knife at all times. I got the SV 30 steal blade, and it has held its edge through everything I have thrown at it.(mostly cardboard boxes and wood) the blade shape is very useful. The knife deploys with a thumb to the hole and a flick of the wrist. It retracts with just a pull of the button and another flick of the wrist. The engraving on the blade shows that there are some people in charge at Spiderco with a sense of humor.... "Made in the USA.... Earth". There are other steals offered with this knife. I would say if you want an edge that standard up, get the SV 30 or the VG 10.

I have been using this knife for roughly two weeks at this point and so far it has met all my expectations. The knife arrived with a very sharp edge and has maintained that edge best I can tell. The pocket clip holds tightly with no issues. There is no blade movement when locked and all the mechanics of the knife are smooth. It has great USA quality and I am very satisfied.

This may be the last EDC you'll ever need!! I've had other knifes like benchmade and a few other brands and I prefer this as my everyday Knife! Great knife and its s30v! I bought mine for 80 bucks and its of great quality. I've since changed out the scales just for a custom look but the g10 scales that come with knife are awesome too!! Lots of grip! So basically ya Can't go wrong with the manix2!! Buy it and you'll agree!
